Top Democrat’s home targeted in bomb threat one day after Trump called her a ‘traitor’

Michigan State Police responded to a bomb threat at the Holly residence of U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin late Friday night, just one day after President Donald Trump publicly labeled the first-term Democrat a “traitor” and suggested she should be arrested or even put to death.

Slotkin, a former intelligence analyst who previously served three terms in the House, was not home at the time, according to a spokesperson for her office. Troopers searched the property and confirmed that no one was in danger, ABC News 12 in Michigan reported.

“Senator Slotkin is deeply grateful for the swift and professional response by Oakland County and Michigan State Police,” the spokesperson added Friday. “U.S. Capitol Police will continue to investigate and hopefully hold accountable those responsible.”

The threat came one day after Slotkin drew the president’s ire after appearing in a video with a group of Democratic veterans urging active-duty service members not to follow unlawful orders.

“No one has to carry out orders that violate the law, or our Constitution,” the video says. “Know that we have your back… don’t give up the ship.”

Trump reacted angrily, saying the lawmakers should be jailed and possibly executed. The joint statement was issued by Slotkin along with Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). Though it was not specified which orders would be deemed unlawful, they told troops to hold firm when put under pressure.

Friday’s development also landed on the same day Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced she would resign from Congress. In her resignation letter, Greene cited “years of non-stop, never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies” from critics.

Michigan State Police and U.S. Capitol Police continue to investigate the threat, according to the Flint, Michigan, news outlet.
